Pregnant New Yorker Gets Job Back Amid Public Outcry
A pregnant Queens woman has been rehired at the Bronx potato-packing plant that fired her in August for declining to work overtime on the advice of her doctor.
Rachel L. Swarns of the New York Times published Angelica Valencia’s story on Oct 19 and the next day she got her job back. Score one for crusading journalism!
